To the editor:
I recently rented a room out in my basement and this person is a slob.
Every morning there's a different man leaving my house after spending the night with her. I feel like I'm a live-in maid because I'm constantly cleaning up after this slob.
Men are constantly climbing in and out of my basement windows and I don't feel safe anymore. I'm dealing with my second bout of cancer on top of that.
I can't get this tramp out of my house. My landlord is trying to help me but it's impossible to evict someone.
It's on the news all the time that landlords cannot get people out of their buildings for months. The landlord-tenant act is so screwed up that the tenants have more rights than the people who rent to them.
What do you do when you feel like a hostage in your own house and you can't sleep at night and you can't eat because your food is being stolen and your privacy is ruined and you have to sleep in a chair every night just to keep an eye on your front door?
I've seen two home invasions in my neighbourhood and they're not there to steal, they are there to throw you out on the street and take over your residence. They're trying to drive me out of my own home and I will not give in.
Where are our local politicians when we need help.... the only help I have is a baseball bat..... what is going on?????
The police won't do anything, the landlord can't do anything, and I have strangers in my house constantly.... this is no longer a safe world we live in
